@Renauda said in Trump says no.: I find Bill Maher of late not at all off the mark in his acerbic rants on the absurdity of the current North American culture wars. Beyond that, I don’t know. I only see what’s posted or linked here. For most part I do not relate to any of its urgency and therefore pay only passing attention to the “in your face punchlines” and subsequent laughs and cheers given to the hosts. Yep. Much noise signifying nothing. Preaching to the choir.

What a crock of shit.

Usually moccasins. But as for walking in the house...If my boots aren't muddy, I wear 'em.

@Mik said in Sweden to offer ‘remigration’ checks: @Doctor-Phibes said in Sweden to offer ‘remigration’ checks: @89th said in Sweden to offer ‘remigration’ checks: My point being... the world has forever been tribal and only relatively recently are we seeing an influx that's mixing the pot. We used to call it colonization rather than immigration. I'm still busy doing it. More accurately re-colonization. But keep at it. Persistence pays off. I'm busy putting the colon into colony.

Cooper, you devil…a rascal you are.

@bachophile said in Fish Survival: While on the same topic…. https://www.thestate.com/news/nation-world/national/article292380179.html I wonder if he's feeding the fish to all the cats he's saved. I've heard the entire first floor is covered in pussy.

nice

@taiwan_girl said in Paralympic marathon runner stripped of bronze medal: Wow. That is tough. On one side, I can see. The rule is the rule. If yo let it go for one second, is two seconds okay? After seeing the video, I'd have to imagine a "spirit of the rule" approach would've ruled in her favor. It was literally less than a second, when he lurched forward from a cramp in which she immediately grabbed his arm (she is blind, I believe?), so in no way was it intentional, more than a second, and had zero impact (actually negative impact) on her running. Anyway....... About your field goal story, wow. I guess the car dealership gets coverage now! That nit pick reminded me of this famous scenario. Good video, shows you other attempts at "million dollar shots". Anyway, this guy makes a 3/4 length basketball shot for a million bucks, but the insurance company tries to decline payment because of a small stipulation. Long story short, he gets paid, thanks to Michael Jordan's actions. Link to video

@Jolly Great minds must think alike (or idiot runs in pairs) but I just saw a similar article and how you can purchase your very own diamond making machine for about USD$200K https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/HPHT-Cubic-Press-Synthetic-Diamond-Making_1600318712802.html?spm=a2700.7724857.0.0.237f4032pTaqn6 but of course For an HPHT press, you'd need a reliable source of high-quality graphite, metal catalysts like iron or cobalt, and precise temperature and pressure control systems. CVD machines require a steady supply of methane and hydrogen gases, as well as the ability to generate and control microwaves or hot filaments. Both methods need diamond seed crystals to start the growth process. Moreover, you'd need specialized knowledge to manage the growth parameters, handle potentially hazardous materials and high-pressure equipment safely, and process the resulting raw diamonds into usable gems or industrial components. The machines also use considerable amounts of energy and require regular maintenance.

Seriously though, a Five Guys in DCA? Cool.

Apparently Rear Admiral John Kirby (ret.) just reared himself real good on this one. Should have been more observant of the field and considered all possible outcomes and responses.

A lot of this stuff is promoted by beauty influencers on Tik Tok. They are promoted as anti-aging products that are best applied prepubescent. TikTok is particularly evil. Finley will not have anything beyond a flipphone until he’s 21
